We had fun with this last year so I thought I'd do it again....
here's how it will work... if you want to join in just post in here and i will pick a member's name for you.
Then all you have to do is go find an item anywhere on the net and post a pic and a short explanation as to why you chose that pressie for that poster.
just a bit of light hearted fun...

This is for Kay. Some Galway Crystal wine glasses and a cheap and cheerful bottle of Hesketh Bright Young Things Sauvignon Blanc 'cos the glasses cost me a fortune.  |

I chose this laser light projector for Flashie because she said they weren't able to do their usual Christmas lights this year.  |

Pepe, I like to make my Christmas gifts.
I made this one special for you...…( and one for Clarabelle cause she said she needed one). Never go out of style, I am a practical kinda gal.
Actually, I found a bunch of videos about back scratchers ….what a hoot!!

Great stuff, thanks figlet!
I am fascinated with your country....no secret. My brother and wife are taking a cruise in the coming year to Aus. Quite a chore getting all the papers in order.
I am jealous but over the years I have become terrified of flying and can't imagine being on a ship for that long a journey. I so enjoy coming here for "a day in life"
Love bling on those boots! Searched Vegemite...what it actually is and how to eat it. Sounds interesting
......do you remember this?

Hahaha! It's still part of the Aussie lexicon to refer to yourself as a 'happy little vegemite' when something nice happen.

Post by figlet on Dec 1, 2018 1:35:42 GMT
.. Yes, the vegemite ad is a memorable one. Good to watch again. Vegemite is an acquired taste, need to grow up eating it. The UK has Marmite? which is the same sort of thing. The Vegemite brand was owned by a US company for 90 years, until last year when it was returned to Australian ownership again.
